''Goodmorning.''

Matt turned around, sleepy. He rubbed through his hair and leaned on his elbow, leaning over Gabby and kissed her.

''Morning.''

''Shoudl we get up?''

He laid down again, pulling her closer to him as it was pretty cold now the fire was out and the blanket was really thin.

''Do we need to get out?''

''No.'' She giggled and kissed him again. He looked at her with a smile as she closed her eyes again and he wiped the bangs of hair from her face and she opened her eyes again, smiling back.

''I will have to look for wood again today.'' He laughed. ''Maybe I will even find my flip flop back.''

She chuckled and sat up, standing up.

''Nah, I will go today, wouldn't want you to hurt your tender feet.''

Matt stood up as well and looked at the scorched wood in the fireplace. The sun was already up and he walked onto the porch after grabbing some underwear from his suitcase. The lake was calm as if it was a mirror and he leaned over the edge of the porch, that immediately met the water and he looked at the water, remembering the time the he had spend on his own here. It had been so quiet, but quiet in a different way. It had almost been like he had really been on his own and it had been scary. Now he was here with Gabriela he was actually enjoying how calm it was.

He walked back inside and made the bed in front of the fireplace.

''I guess we are sleeping here again tonight.'' He looked up as she was ready preparing breakfast.

''It doesn't matter where you sleep, you snore anyway.'' She chuckled and he just kept making the bed, ignoring her remark with a smirk.

After breakfast they walked into the woods with the two of them.

''They should film the Walking Dead here.'' Matt said then as it was foggy in the woods and Gabriela laughed, picking up some of the branches. Matt took them from here and carried them as she took the axe.

''Don't worry, I would save you.''

''By what, hitting the zombie with a branch? I am the person with the axe.''

''True. Then I guess you have to protect me.''

''Nah, I would run.'' She said as she pecked him on the cheek and continued walking. Matt picked up more branches and felt a little sad they had to leave again tomorrow evening. He enjoyed just being here with her.

''Watch out, walker!'' She suddenly yelled and confused he looked at the thing she was pointing at. His sandal, hidden under a small layer of leaves.

He laughed and grabbed it as they walked back to the cabin and he got the wood ready for tonight. Slowly they walked to the small pier by the water and Gabby sat down next to Matt as he got the rod ready.

''Any wishes for our dinner fish?'' He asked but she just looked over the water, dipping her toes in the water but pulling her feet back immediately as it was cold.

''No, not really.'' She laughed and she looked as Matt threw the fishing line out and looked over the calm water. She laid her head against his shoulder and realized she could sit here for hours with him. It was so different from their daily life which made it is so good.

''I love you.'' She finally mumbled as she sat up a little it and kissed him in his neck. His mouth curled in a smile and he looked aside kissing her too when he suddenly felt something pulling the rod and he sighed when the fish escaped.

''Oh, how sad. I guess we will be sitting here a bit longer.''

''You know what, I will sorry for the fish.'' He said as he laid the rod next to them on the pier and kissed her again. She laughed and they stood up and went inside as it was getting foggier and foggier outside.

''Why does the weather have to get bad now? I was enjoying it so much.'' She said with a pout.

''Well, I am sure we can make it cozy inside as well.''

Matt put the rod away as Gabby made hot chocolate and they sat by the fireside as Matt started to light it.

''It's different, huh, lighting a fire instead of putting it out.'' She said with a wink as she was holding his mug and he sighed.

''I guess we won't enough for tonight.''

''Sweetie, if you had taken the time to look behind the cabin you would have seen there is enough chopped wood to last for a decade.'' She finally chuckled now.

''And you let me walk into the woods...''

''Because it was funny seeing you all survivor like.'' She giggled and he took the mugs from her hands and she looked as him questioning. suddenly he dove forward, tickling her in her sides and she fell onto the mattress, laughing.

''No, Matt, stop! You know I can't...Matt! Stahp!'' She laughed as the tears almost ran over her cheeks and finally he stopped, looking at her with a frown.

''What, there is also a star restaurant under the cabin?'' He said with a smile as he stood up and walked out side to get some of the wood she finally told him about. She was right, under a small shed there was a large stash of wood and he grabbed as much as he could carry and laid it down next to the fire-place.

As the fire was lit he laid down again in the pillows and enjoyed his chocolate as she laid down against him as well.

''My mom wants to have lunch with you soon. Or us.'' Casey finally said as he looked at Gabby while he laid her arm around her.

''I know. It will happen soon.''

''I know you are not comfortable around her...but she is my mom.''

''I know, I know...it's just...''

''She killed my father. I know, she knows.''

''Not just that. I just meant that...well. I was twelve when Antonio had his first real case at CPD and he was working in homicide. I am twenty-eight now. Count it.''

Matt looked at Gabriela, surprised. ''Sixteen years ago...''

''Yeah. I only realized later and now I realize it was your mother's case. Back then Antonio told about it to me to tell me it was wrong and i only realized the woman was bad. My feelings are kinda conflicted now i realize he was talking about your mother.''

''I can't forgive my mom for what she did but neither can I forgive my dad, so I accept her. I hope you can do the same.''

''Ofcourse, I will accept her and I think she is a really nice woman, but I know Antonio knows.''

Casey stared into the flames and she could see in his eyes he was reliving some painful memories he had put far away and they only talked about once before. She felt sorry for hurting him like his and buried her head in his shoulder.

''It's getting kinda hot close to the fire.'' She finally said and he gave her a cheeky smile: ''We could get rid of some clothes of course.'' He said now as he put the mug on the ground and leaned over her, kissing her and they slowly repeated what they did last night.
